I Like Being On The Margins. You

We Had The Same Kind Of Unemployment Here As They Had In The Worst Hit Places In The North And You're Meant To Be On A Cushy Wicket In The South. If You Go Up To Newcastle, You Can Tell That The Town's Really Had Money, Or Liverpool, You Know, The Northern Towns Have Got Grandeur, Whereas Medway, Being Just A Sort Of Garrison Town And Dockyard Town, You Don't Have Anything Like Earl Grey Square Or Anything Like That.

I Make Sure I Make A Painting - That's My Job. And I Cook The Sunday Dinner.

I Did Not Like Prizes At School. I Didn't Like Tests Or Exams, Or The 11+, Or O-levels. Later I Hated B.a.s And M.a.s. The Reason I Hated Them Is That I Don't Like Being Tested, Failed Or Falsely Praised By Anyone.
